THE  LIBRARY  IN  THE  SCHOOL 


For  several  years  we  have  been  working  in  the  State 
Normal  Training  School  on  the  organization  of  room  libra- 
ries. Book  cases  have  been  placed  in  the  different  rooms 
and  a considerable  number  of  books  have  been  gatherd  to- 
gether. These  consist  in  part  of  books,  generally  purehast 
in  sets  of  from  half  a dozen  to  two  dozen  or  more,  for  ref- 
erence reading  in  connection  with  the  regular  studies  of  the 
children ; and  in  part  of  books,  usually  of  a literary  charac- 
ter, which  they  take  home  to  read  or  read  occasionally  dur- 
ing a study  period,  provided  their  lessons  have  been  satis- 
factorily accounted  for.  This  plan  of  room  libraries  has 
proved  of  great  value  in  the  work  of  the  School,  and  the 
list  that  follows,  which  has  been  selected  for  the  most  part 
from  the  books  now  in  our  rooms,  is  given  to  the  teachers 
of  the  State  in  the  hope  that,  it  may  be  of  use  to  others. 

The  busy  teacher  with  her  multitudinous  tasks  is  apt 
to  lose  sight  of  the  supreme  importance  of  this  phase  of  her 
work,  especially  as  she  is  not  required  to  make  a report 
upon  this  subject  to  her  superintendent.  But  that  she  can 
do  more  for  the  real  educational  development  of  her  pupils 
by  stimulating  an  interest  in  the  better  class  of  books  and 
by  rendering  such  literature  accessible  to  them  than  she  can 
by  the  formal  teaching  of  many  of  the  regular  subjects  of 
the  curriculum  there  can  be  no  doubt.  Investigations  in 
this  State  as  well  as  elsewhere  have  shown  that  when  chil- 
dren are  left  to  their  own  resources  they  are  all  too  prone  to 
follow  the  path  of  least  resistance  in  their  reading.  The

cheapest  and  trashiest  kinds  of  hooks  are  apt  to  he  read. 
To  elevate  the  tastes  of  boys  and  girls  along  these  lines,  to 
disclose  to  their  gaze  larger  visions  of  the  field  of  literature, 
and  to  foster  through  this  means  higher  aspirations  and 
ideals  of  life  should  surely  he  a chief  concern  as  well  as  a 
constant  delight  to  the  thoughtful  teacher. 

A knowledge  of  the  reading  interests  of  her  children 
will  often  afford  the  teacher  an  insight  into  their  mental 
and  moral  characteristics.  The  explanation  of  the  way- 
wardness of  many  a wilful  hoy  may  he  reveald  in  his  out- 
side reading.  At  times  this  passion  for  reading  amounts 
to  a veritable  craze,  as  is  illustrated  in  the  case  of  the  youth- 
ful Edison,  who  undertoook  to  read  the  Detroit  Public  Li- 
brary thru,  and  who  did  actually  devour  the  contents  of 
fifteen  solid  feet  of  hooks  before  his  ardor  cooled.  This 
excessiv  reading  may  at  times  interfere  with  the  regular 
work  of  the  school,  hut  the  teacher  must  know  something 
about  the  world  in  which  the  hoy  is  living  if  she  expects  to 
help  him.  A sympathetic  understanding  of  his  interests 
will  enable  her  to  bridge  the  chasm  that  too  often  unfortun- 
ately exists  between  the  outside  life  and  the  activities  of  the 
schoolroom.  Moreover,  it  is  the  teacher  who  knows  what 
her  pupils’  ideals  are  who  is  best  prepared  to  elevate  them. 
She  can  gradually  substitute  a higher  for  a lower  ideal  by 
stimulating  an  interest  in  a grafically  written  biografv,  as 
that  of  Lincoln  or  Boone  in  the  place  of  the  gory  detectiv 
story. 

For  the  busy  teacher  who  is  trying  to  build  up  a libra- 
ry with  a very  limited  amount  of  money  at  her  disposal,  the 
ten,  fifteen,  and  twenty-five  dollar  lists  containd  in  the  ap- 


GREELEY,  COLORADO. 


pendix  of  this  bulletin  will  be  particularly  useful.  These 
books  have  been  selected  with  care.  While  it  is  doubtless 
true  that  the  usefulness  of  a book  depends  in  part  upon  the 
interests  of  the  children  and  the  work  of  the  school,  all 
these  books  will  be  read  with  plesure  and  profit  by  children 
whose  teachers  help  to  arouse  an  interest  in  their  minds  in 
regard  to  them.  But  whether  the  books  be  selected  from  a 
longer  or  a shorter  list  it  is  desirable  to  begin  with  a few 
books  and  to  add  to  the  list,  as  funds  may  be  secured,  those 
whose  merits  are  well  known  rather  than  to  purchase  an  in- 
discriminate lot  of  material  of  uncertain  value. 

We  should  be  pleased  to  answer  as  far  as  possible  any 
questions  askt  in  regard  to  these  books  or  our  work  along 
these  lines  in  the  State  Normal  Training  School.  We  are 
particularly  glad  to  keep  in  touch  in  this  matter  with  the 
teachers  of  the  State,  because  we  believe  that  by  a compar- 
ison of  experiences  in  this  work  an  ideal  list  of  children’s 
books  might  in  time  be  worked  out — as  far  as  an  ideal  can 
be  achievd  in  such  work — which  would  afford  a standard 
for  the  choice  of  books  for  our  Colorado  schools  at  least. 
Any  scheme  adopted  by  teachers  to  keep  a record  of  the 
books  red  by  the  children,  with  brief  comments  in  regard 
to  the  attitude  of  the  reader  toward  the  book  will  be  servis- 
able  in  this  connection.  In  the  meantime,  though  con- 
scious of  its  many  limitations,  we  trust  that  the  following 
list  may  contribute  in  some  measure  to  the  elevation  of 
children’s  reading. 

Many  persons  have  contributed  directly  or  otherwise 
to  the  selection  of  this  list.  Especial  help  has  been  given 
by  the  Training  Teachers  of  this  Institution  for  the  past

lam,  Bella  B.  Sibley,  E.  Maud  Oannell,  Aliee  M.  Kracko- 
wizer  and  Ernest  Horn.  Their  assistance  has  been  especially 
valuable  in  determining  what  books  are  actually  red  with 
enjoyment  by  the  pupils.  In  many  cases  the  departmental 
teachers  have  render d invaluable  assistance  in  the  arrange- 
ment of  the  bibliografy  of  their  own  subjects.  Professor 
W.  B.  Mooney  has  assisted  in  the  selection  of  the  books  in 
the  Appendix.  But  the  main  part  of  the  work  of  compil- 
ing the  lists  has  fallen  to  the  lot  of  Mrs.  Hugh,  who  has 
been  interested  in  the  development  of  our  room  libraries 
from  the  beginning.  D.  D.  H. 


THE  CHOICE  OF  THE  BOOKS. 


Libraries  for  the  young  are  rapidly  being  placed  in 
the  more  progressiv  schools  of  the  state,  yet  it  must  be 
admitted  that  the  problems  of  children’s  reading  have  not 
yet  been  wholly  solvd.  The  difficulty,  for  example,  of  the 
selection  of  the  best  books  grows  month  by  month  with  the 
multiplication  of  the  number  publisht.  There  are  too  few 
experts  to  pass  on  the  books  for  youth,  and  mediocrity 
stamps  the  juvenil  library  with  unfortunate  frequency. 
Too  much  reliance  cannot  be  placed  upon  the  information 
containd  in  advertisements,  for  the  enterprising  publisher 
v/ith  the  glowing  descriptions  of  his  wares  too  ofen  succeeds 
in  making  the  busy  teacher  the  victim  of  his  mistakes  of 
judgment.  To  simplify  the  problem  of  selection  as  well

as  to  lead  to  a growing  dependence  upon  the  room  library  to 
enrich  the  life  of  the  school  is  the  hope  of  the  compilers  of 
this  list.  To  have  upon  one’s  table  information  regarding 
the  title,  publisher,  and  price  of  a list  that  has  been  chosen 
with  special  reference  to  school  needs  may  lessen  the 
chances  of  making  mistakes  in  buying  books. 

Two  considerations  have  been  given  prominence  in  de- 
ciding which  books  shall  be  included  in  the  list:  first,  to 
lead  children  to  appreciate  those  writings,  known  as  classic, 
which  express  in  good  literary  form  the  deepest  emotions 
of  the  race ; and,  second,  to  render  available  those  which  af- 
ford information  upon  the  regular  work  of  the  day.  How- 
ever, some  recognition  must  also  be  given  to  books  which 
interest  children  who  have  little  literary  taste  or  training 
in  reading  as  well  as  to  those  that  satisfy  the  omnivorous 
readers  of  the  sensational.  Tor  such  children  are  included, 
first,  the  story,  episodical  in  character,  chiefly  concerned 
with  local  details  of  home  life,  often  a bit  improbable  or 
highly  colored,  but  perfectly  wholesome,  of  which  Annie  F. 
Johnston’s  books  are  types;  and,  second,  those  markt  by 
grafic  style,  employing  blazing  colors  and  racing  move- 
ments, as  is  illustrated  in  the  more  spectacular  of  our  books 
of  advenutre.  Perhaps  too  few  of  “the  blood  and  thunder” 
brand  have  been  included;  for  every  teacher  knows  that 
inferior  libraries,  operated  by  stelth,  will  triumph  over 
every  good  intention  of  the  teacher  unless  the  school  library 
provides  for  the  hunger-for-adventure  of  the  growing  boy 
or  girl.  The  problem  of  education  here  as  well  as  else- 
where is  to  take  children  where  they  are  and  gradually  to 
lead  them  to  higher  things.

In  the  factual  material,  such  as  history,  geografy,  and 
science,  the  stimulus  of  the  recitation  must  he  depended 
upon  for  creating  a lively  interest  in  the  reading.  In  this 
material  the  preference  has,  of  course,  been  given  to  au- 
thors who  have  written  their  facts  in  a picturesque  and  en- 
tertaining manner.  Where  a satisfactory  treatment  could 
not  be  found,  the  book  nearest  the  child’s  point  of  view  was 
chosen.  The  Carpenter  and  Chamberlain  geografical 
series,  the  Gulick  hygiene  series,  and  the  “Peeps  at  Many 
Lands”  are  notable  examples  of  the  happy  and  successful 
combination  of  accurate  information  and  readable  style. 
Books  in  which  the  story  was  pre-emintly  the  thing  and  the 
facts  were  secondary,  such  as  Ernest  Thompson  Seton’s 
stories,  were  placed  in  the  general  reading  group. 

Difficulties  of  classification  frequently  arose.  Books 
have  sometimes  been  placed  in  certain  grades  on  account  of 
their  relation  to  significant  phases  of  study  for  those  years 
in  our  own  school  work.  For  example,  the  King  Arthur 
stories  were  placed  in  the  fifth  and  sixth  grades  because 
of  the  emfasis  upon  the  chivalric  life  during  these  years. 
In  many  instances  a story  will  be  attractiv  to  all  grades  in 
season  and  out.  “The  Birds’  Christmas  Carol”  is  a striking 
example  of  this.  In  case  where  an  author  has  written  sev- 
eral stories  which  are  exceedingly  popular  with  the  chil- 
dren of  a certain  age,  only  one  or  two  are  usually  included, 
as  the  teacher  will  find  it  almost  impossible  to  get  any  other 
reading  done  while  popular  ones  of  questionable  merit  are 
accessible. 

In  presenting  this  list  a plea  is  not  made  for  more 
reading,  but  for  reading  with  a definite  purpose  in  view.

Better  no  reading  at  all  than  to  allow  it  to  crowd  out  first- 
hand contact  with  nature  and  people.  Creativ  thinking 
must  accompany  reading.  The  “Top  of  the  Bureau  Prin- 
ciple7 is  the  one  thing  to  keep  in  mind.  Besides  the  harm- 
ful habits  acquired  by  thoughtless  reading,  serious  problems 
in  hygiene  have  already  arisen  from  trying  to  develop  book- 
ish children.  Constructiv  activities,  induced  by  first-hand 
experience,  should  predominate  in  the  first  years  of  school 
work.  Reading  should  be  a.  secondary  matter  to  enlarge 
and  vitalize  the  primary  experiences  of  life. 

No  attempt  has  been  made  to  include  in  this  list  text- 
books for  the  various  grade  subjects,  such  as  reading,  his- 
tory, geografy,  etc.,  except  in  cases  where  such  books  wrere 
especially  well  adapted  for  supplementary  reading  or  refer- 
ence work. 

Most  teachers  will  be  helpt  to  a greater  discrimination 
in  the  selection  of  books  by  consulting  the  lists  publisht 
by  o,ur  better  libraries,  or  in  book  form  by  people  of  experi- 
ence. The  following,  among  others,  have  been  consulted  by 
the  compilers  of  this  list :

STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL, 


A FEW  HINTS  ABOUT  THE  USE  OF  BOOKS. 


Simply  to  expose  a child  to  a collection  of  books  may 
be  desirable  in  a good  borne  where  the  parents’  intelligence, 
tastes,  and  ideals  unconsciously  influence  and  stimulate ; but 
this  does  not  seem  to  be  sufficient  in  a crowded  schoolroom 
where  various  types  of  character  and  degrees  of  interest  are 
so  evident.  Hence  the  need  of  sympathetic  direction  on  the 
part  of  the  teacher.  The  fundamental  prerequisit  for  this 
is,  first,  to  have  a discriminating  knowledge  of  the  contents 
of  the  room  library;  and,  second,  to  have  an  intimate  ac- 
quaintance with  the  individual  pupils  and  with  the  psy- 
chology of  childhood  and  adolescence.  A simple  knowledge 
of  the  material  is  not  sufficient.  The  teacher  must  needs 
be  charged  with  the  feelings  of  the  masters  and  have  “the 
habit  of  living  on  them.” 

In  using  library  books,  as  in  teaching,  the  main  thing 
is  to  see  to  it  that  the  child  has  a motiv  for  his  work.  To 
connect  the  regular  studies  with  the  various  kinds  of 
library  material  at  hand,  the  recitation  must  be  used  as  a 
stimulus  to  further  reading.  A reference  list  of  the  various 
subjects  treated  in  the  books  will  enable  the  teacher  to 
assign  topics  to  be  read  with  a definit  purpose  in  view. 
Geografy  and  other  factual  subjects  require  a considerable 
amount  of  work  of  this  kind  to  provide  the  side  lights 
which  are  so  essential  to  set  forth  the  facts  in  a realistic 
and  attractiv  manner. 

The  recitation  is  then  no  longer  devoted  merely  to 
hearing  the  children  repeat  the  brief  statements  of  the  text- 


GREELEY,  COLORADO.

books.  Teacher  and  pupil  have  an  opportunity  to  bring 
together  and  organize  a welth  of  material  gatherd  from 
various  sources,  each  member  of  the  class  making  his  own 
contribution  to  the  genral  fund.  Thus  a fuller  understand- 
ing of  the  subject  is  secured,  a better  social  spirit  engen- 
dered, and  an  occasion  provided  for  excellent  training  in 
oral  language.  At  times  it  is  well  to  devote  the  whole  reci- 
tation period  to  the  search  for  the  material  needed  to  re- 
inforce the  topic  under  consideration  and  the  reading  aloud 
of  the  best  selections  found.  This  also  provides  the  best 
possible  motiv  for  expressiv  reading.  The  necessity  of 
making  clear  and  interesting  to  listeners  matter  known  only 
to  the  reader  is  a condition  seldom  found  in  the  regular 
reading  class. 

Such  connections  between  the  library  and  the  class 
work  may  lead  to  the  voluntary  presentation  by  some  of  the 
more  expressiv  and  enthusiastic  pupils  of  dramatic  scenes 
in  literature  or  history.  The  dramatization  of  a certain 
chapter  in  a piece  of  fiction  or  a vivid  historical  description 
by  one  group  in  the  room  for  the  benefit  of  the  others  will 
intensify  the  impressions  gatherd  from  the  various  sources. 
For  example,  after  the  presentation  of  the  King  Arthur 
stories  in  literature  the  various  versions  of  the  story  in  the 
room  library  will  be  eagerly  red  by  the  children.  A dra- 
matic representation  of  selected  episodes  may  then  be  given. 
Maud  Radford’s  “King  Arthur  and  His  Knights”  can  be 
adapted  with  few  changes  for  this  purpose.  Of  course 
teachers  must  expect  crude  impersonations.  To  realize  the 
spirit  of  the  knights,  not  the  giving  of  a fine  performance, 
is  the  main  aim. 


14 


STATE  NORMAL  SCHOOL, 


To  awaken  an  interest  in  books  not  related  to  any  line 
of  regular  work,  many  plans  will  occur  to  the  resourceful 
teacher.  The  time  for  the  morning  exercises  offers  splendid 
opportunities  of  this  kind.  Some  strong  nativ  interest  of 
the  pupils  may  guide  a teacher  to  the  selection  of  a series 
of  relevant  stories  or  poems,  just  enough  being  told  or  red 
by  her  to  arouse  the  children’s  interest  in  the  whole,  and 
eventually  to  lead  to  their  reading  of  it.  In  this  way,  for 
example,  the  boys’  love  of  abandon,  and  wild,  daring  esca- 
pades may  be  carried  over  into  the  enjoyment  of  famous 
rides  in  literature,  as  found  in  “How  they  brought  the  good 
news  from  Ghent  to  Aix,”  “Sheridan’s  Ride,”  “Serve 
Riel,”  “The  Charge  of  the  Light  Brigade,”  “John  Gilpin,” 
and  a half-dozen  others.  In  each  case  the  setting  must  be 
given  and  the  true  spirit  of  the  poem  shown  in  the  reading. 

Again,  to  lead  the  pupils  to  see  that  some  literature  is 
“charged  with  moral  power”  exposing  to  us  the  good  or  ill 
effects  of  certain  moral  choices,  the  theme  of  some  story 
may  be  lightly  and  sympathetically  applied  by  the  teacher 
to  an  ethical  problem  common  to  the  listeners.  For  illus- 
tration, in  the  discussion  of  the  effect  of  letting  the  opinions 
of  others  rather  than  what  is  known  to  be  the  truth  deter- 
min  conduct,  the  teacher  may  incidentally  refer  to  “The 
String”  by  Guy  de  Maupassant,  thereby  giving  the  story  a 
distinction  which  will  lead  to  the  reading  of  it.  In  some 
such  ways  the  older  boys  and  girls  may  be  led  to  look  into 
books  for  ideals  of  truth  and  honor,  glory  and  self-sacrifice. 
In  close  connection  with  this  plan  the  claims  of  story-telling 
will  appeal  to  the  thoughtful  teacher.  One  librarian  tells 
of  her  success  in  influencing  the  boys’  reading  by  telling  a 


15

series  of  hero  stories  beginning  with  Theseus,  Jason,  and 
the  heroes  of  Troy,  continuing  with  the  heroes  of  chivalry, 
and  finally  introducing  the  more  practical  types  of  later 
days,  as  shown  in  Lincoln,  Cooper,  and  Livingston.  The 
adaptations  of  the  great  hero  stories  are  still  in  the  making, 
and  every  teacher  may  become -a  partner  with  the  makers 
of  literature  in  meeting  the  demands  of  our  youth  to  be 
moved  by  the  supreme  traditions  of  mankind. 

During  the  time  of  the  opening  exercises  oral  reports 
of  new  books  red  may  be  given  by  the  pupils  themselvs. 
In  preparing  these,  assistance  in  selection  and  condensation 
must  be  given  to  secure  good  material  expressed  in  short, 
simple  reports.  In  most  cases  several  should  unite  in  giving 
the  reproduction,  each  taking  up  the  narrative  where  the 
other  left  off.  In  fact,  the  reading  recitation  may  occasion- 
ally be  given  over  to  the  reading  of  an  excellent  story,  pre- 
viously assignd  to  several  pupils. 

Again  various  games  will  lead  to  a better  acquaintance 
with  book-people.  The  teacher  may  sketch,  without  men- 
tioning names,  the  appearance  and  qualities  of  certain  char- 
acters with  whom  the  pupils  are  familiar,  allowing  them  to 
name  in  writing  each  character  as  it  is  described.  Later 
the  pupils  may  take  the  role  of  the  teacher,  making  other 
variations  but  preserving  the  play  spirit. 

Suitable  mechanical  devices  will  often  assist  in  se- 
curing good  results.  A small  display  book  rack  on  the 
teachers’  desk,  in  which  are  placed  books  mentioned  in  the 
morning  exercise,  or  for  any  reason  especially  deserving  of 
notice,  will  direct  the  children’s  attention  to  them.  Send-

ing  home  lists  of  books  helps  to  enforce  the  claims  of  the 
library  upon  both  parents  and  children. 

As  a detail  of  management  importance  should  be 
given  to  posting  notises  of  pages  and  chapters  of  books 
where  material  related  to  certain  lessons  or  topics  may  be 
found.  A bulletin  board  and  a card  catalog  will  be  found 
invaluable.  Some  system  of  keeping  records  will  facilitate 
the  handling  of  books.  Mrs.  Katherine  M.  Cook,  the  State 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  of  Colorado,  has  pro- 
vided for  this  in  a folder,  which  may  be  obtained  thru  the 
County  Superintendents.  In  this  folder  provision  is  also 
made  for  recording  the  books  bought  for  himself  by  each 
pupil. 

FTo  suggestion  for  using  a library  is  comparable  to  the 
possession  by  the  teacher  of  the  contagion  of  a fine  feeling 
for  the  greater  ideals  of  life  as  found  in  literature,  or  of  a 
close  and  sympathetic  relation  with  out-of-door  life.  For  to 
a teacher  with  these  attributes  books  become  life,  and  will 
eventually  find  their  place  in  each  day’s  program.
